Top Features to Love with the New Combi-Boilers

January 11, 2023

Combi-boilers have been around for longer than many people realize. Even if you’re just learning about them, however, they can be a great addition to consider for your home. What is a combi-boiler, though, and what does it offer the modern home in terms of features and perks? In this guide, we’ll cover everything that you need to know. 


What is a Combi-Boiler?


A combi-boiler is a heating system that offers endless hot water and whole-house heating in one unit—there are different sizes for different homes to ensure that you can enjoy all the warmth and hot water that you need, no matter how many people are in your home or how much hot water you use on a regular basis. 


These systems use water to provide various heating solutions, including cast iron and finned-tube baseboard heating, radiant heating (in-floor), radiators, fan coils, and air handlers. You can choose different features and models depending on your needs and get a much more efficient, cost-effective heating and hot water system in one. 


What are the Best Features of These Systems?


When considering combi-boilers, there are several benefits and top features that are sure to attract attention. For starters, the condensing heat exchangers are made of durable stainless steel and help reduce energy bills, CO2 emissions, and exhaust temperatures, which means that you’ll save money, help the planet, and be able to utilize less cost-prohibitive venting materials. 


Another great feature of this type of system is that it saves massive space. Some people prefer to have a combi installed instead of a conventional heating system next to a hot water tank, which takes up a lot more space and can often struggle to keep up with demand. 


Speaking of demand, that’s another benefit of this system: instant hot water or heat on demand. Hot water will be available as needed and this system is ideal for small to mid-sized homes. Larger homes and those with several bathrooms should consider conventional systems because combi-boilers aren’t yet capable of keeping up with that kind of demand. 


As long as you’ve got great water pressure to begin with, this system will be a great investment. The installation process only takes a couple of days and a professional will make sure that it’s quick and not intrusive so that you can carry on with your lives. 


The Bottom Line


If you’re considering upgrading your heating or hot water system, why not upgrade both? With a modern combi-boiler system, you can, and for a lot less than upgrading both systems separately. Plus, with the perks and features listed above, you can see how it will continue to benefit you over time. If you’re looking to build equity or eventually going to sell, you’ll be happy to know that these systems will also increase the value of your home and help you get a higher resale when you put it on the market. With all this to love, what have you got to lose? Contact the pros and ask if a combi-boiler is right for you.
